Storyline

"In 1989, a Chinese takeaway becomes a battleground for pride and identity as a father and his mixed-race son clash under the weight of grief, generational divide, and the quiet violence of everyday racism."

In 1989, a tense evening unfolds at a Chinese takeaway run by Wong, a first-generation immigrant, and his two sons: Kenny, rebellious and resentful, and Andy, still impressionable. As the night spirals from petty frustrations to deeper wounds; fueled by family conflict, cultural estrangement, and casual racism; Kenny clashes bitterly with his father before facing a humiliating encounter with a group of drunken bigots. When Wong overhears their hateful accusations, he snaps, erupting in a violent confrontation that leaves him bloodied but unbowed. In the stunned silence that follows, father and son must quietly navigate the cost of pride, silence, and survival.
